WeAreOpen was founded in Budapest in 2013 by the visionary leaders of Prezi, Google and espell. The founders, Péter Árvai, Richárd Schuster and Miklós Bán had a clear idea to promote and help organisations understand and experience the benefits of openness in the workplace. By 2023, more than 1100 companies joined WeAreOpen’s manifesto, which makes us the largest DEI organisation in the country, with a service palette that covers the entire range of DEI actions from audit to policy making, capability building and regular reviews.
Our mission is to generate social impact by providing meaningful DEI services to companies, small and big alike. We encourage Hungary-based employers to join us to become part of a real-life community of openness-championing organisations and to better understand how to take actions towards greater diversity and inclusion in the Hungarian workplace.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear from Our Clients
Prezi coded diversity in from the beginning, as being inclusive is not just the morally right thing to do but it has a lot of benefits. You think more creatively, you see things from varied perspectives. Companies with higher levels of diversity achieve better financial returns than the industry median.
Péter Árvai
Prezi
As the maker of products used by billions of people every day, we see DEI as a core responsibility. To deliver, we're focused on the areas where we can have the greatest impact: building belonging at work, in our products, and in society. A world where everyone belongs is one we can only build together. We are grateful for what we've learned from our partners, and hopeful that in sharing it, we can help others accelerate their progress as well.

WeAreOpen was a game changer for us to fully and publicly embrace D&I because it opened a door for us to get better. To set standards and to invite our team to hold the management and their colleagues responsible to stay true to our values. Sometimes it’s hard because some issues are complex and just hard to deal with overall. But the very conversations, the debate, thinking together makes it worth the while.
Miklós Bán
Espell
Diversity, equity and inclusion are embedded in everything that we do. The diversity of our colleagues is a cornerstone of our corporate culture. At Citi, we are building a place where the best talent wants to work and where people can reach their full potential.
